Working through the reverse-depends of the fribidi library, fribidi-pmXXX may be a hopeless case. Even when I patched it to use the correct .h, it fails self-tests because it appears to be using internal interfaces or other no-longer-public parts of the shared library. Given that it's been untouched upstream since 2002 and doesn't have a free license anyway, could just scrap it? It's got no reverse-dependencies anywhere in current 10.4 or beyond and does not appear to be part of other platforms' distros (Debian, for example) for a long time if ever.
Also, fribidi.pc (which may not have existed in old version?) should be in the -dev splitoff not main package. Likewise the man3/* are all for the library so maybe they should also make that shift? dan On Sun, 27 Nov 2011 14:12:37 -0500, Daniel Macks <dma...@netspace.org> wrote: Thanks for that update!
